Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end
for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation
of Jesus Christ;
KJV

Being
burdened by current events, Jeannette had been praying for the United
States of America and Israel for several weeks when the Lord gave her
the foregoing prophecy. Because this prophecy was given to Jeannette
after she had the Wailing Wall vision which is concerning a mid-trib
rapture of Jewish firstfruits, we decided that this prophecy was an
encouraging epilogue word from the Lord to the Church. Considering that
we are on the threshold of the times of the end, perhaps even have entered
it, this prophecy is therefore submitted as inclusive with the vision
about the Wailing Wall and is an exhortation from the Lord against fear.

God
wants His people to understand that they are children of light and ought
to live in the light not despairing because of what is going on in the
world. We belong to God's economy, not the Babylonian's system that
is falling apart. If the Father has track of every bird and knows the
number of hairs on our heads, will He not hear the cry of a child in
need?

Both
the message of the Wailing Wall vision and the prophecy of Hope are
well-timed words from God that the body of Christ should take seriously.
They instruct that we ought to keep our minds focused on Jesus, live
like He'll return today, but plan like He'll tarry a long while. Rejoice,
for our Father is not asleep.

We
can surmise from the vision of the Wailing Wall that God is issuing
a last call for lukewarm people to repent from wickedness and make ready
for what's ahead. The time for our Lord's second visitation is at hand.
The return of the King is upon us, and we have a choice. By forsaking
sin, we can be ready for prosperity in the midst of turmoil and escape
from the hour of temptation that shall come upon the whole world [Revelation
3:10], or we can worry and miss the rest God has for His own.

God
has spoken both in the prophecy above and in His Word: Arise,
shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness
the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall
be seen upon thee [Isaiah 60:1-2]. These Words of the Lord
are for the people at the end time. He is telling us to get out of the
grossly dark satanic system of the world so He can shine upon us. Quit
honoring the god of that system by giving your precious time to it.
Quit watching television and the fear provoking news. Quit buying salacious
magazines and watching filthy movies and scandalous spicy sitcoms. How
can God pour forth glory on persistent worldly activities?

Making
God your priority and thinking on Him instead of the world will cause
His light to shine upon you and assure you of prospering when others
lose hope in this perplexed cosmic system. God is not limited by this
world's system. He can prosper people in the midst of disorder and confusion.
Fear is a force of darkness and if persisted in and not rebuked, it
will becloud God's promise of blessing you in the midst of uncertainty.
The world can offer you nothing but puzzlement and unrest. So get out
of the Babylonian system of chaos.

God
has spoken above and said He would be merciful "one
more time". Believe what He has said. Believe His prophets
(or prophetesses) who enlighten according to Biblical precepts, and
you shall prosper [2 Chronicles 20:20]. Doubt them and you will surely
fail. But make sure they are prophets whom God has sent [Jeremiah 23:21].

Guaranteed
blessings as in the prophecy of "Hope" are fundamental to
unfeigned faith in God's Word. They are the rewards of obedience to
Him. God alone knows the extent of "one
more time". All we can do is stay prepared to meet
our Maker in the rapture as Jesus has repeatedly exhorted those with
ears to hear through His parables.

For
believers who are prepared for crossover to New Jerusalem, hope is not
a future expectation but a now reality. …Behold
now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation
(deliverance) [2 Corinthians 6:2]. God has done all He is going to do
about our deliverance. He gave His life, and He has given us control
of things with authority to use His name. Hence, deliverance from unpreparedness,
worry, and fear is our
work of faith. God cannot believe for us, nor can anyone else.

God
promises to move when we move. He is our Helper, not a pusher, or an
oppressor. He does not push us into anything. We must choose what we
do. Will you fear or will you believe and receive His hope given to
you in the foregoing prophesy?

Assuming
you are already registered in the book of life through spiritual regeneration,
it does not take much to please God and cause Him to list your name in
His book of remembrance. God is ever ready to bless people who seek Him,
even those who have strayed from home.

Jesus
told us what the Father in heaven is like in Luke15:20-22. Listen to this
carefully: The Father was eagerly watching for His wayward son to come
home because Jesus said He saw him coming when he was a
great way off. That means He was looking for him. Sounds to
me like the Father had no intention of holding anything against the boy.
Indeed, when He saw him, He had compassion on him, and rejoicing,
He did not just run to meet him, but He sprinted (Gr.: dramoon
- to run as if in a track meet to win a prize) – perhaps to obtain
a jewel? Thus, He expended great effort to welcome His repentant son back
home.

When
He got to him, listen to this, He repeatedlykissedhis filthy
sweating grimy neck that had just come out of a smelly pig's sty;
He put a signet ring on his finger representing a deposition to
the son's account backed by great authority that belonged only
to His Father; He gave him the best robe
available and shod his dirty feet with clean
sandals; and then to top it off, for his homecoming
He gave a pretentious party so elegant and joyful it made his
elder brother envious and angry!

Does
that sound like someone to be afraid of? It sounds to me like a PRODIGAL
FATHER, someone with whom to fellowship and cultivate as an intimate
friend. Wouldn't learning about an extravagant Father like that be worth
the time and effort? It would enhance your brilliance as a gemstone.

Throwing
a gala bash for a self-serving wayward son who has come back to the
source of his prosperity is beyond the pale of forgiveness. But alas,
God is much more than this. Not only has He forgiven us all, but He
has prepared for us a City with gold streets, huge pearl gates, beautiful
gemstones indiscriminately lying around, mansions in the sky, no sickness,
no death, no turmoil or perplexity. All it takes is a quality decision
to make Jesus the center of your life, and you can begin to enjoy His
riches now. When you do, you open the book of memory as well as the
Gates of Mercy. Glory Hallelujah, what a Father!

Deciding
to live for Jesus is simple, a mere quick flip of the mind. That's called
repentance. Turning towards Eternal Life is not a work but a decision.
God is not looking for your effort to earn His favor. You already have
it. So you cannot work to gain it. All He wants is for you to accept
His lifestyle of love and fellowship with Him.

Sin
is not an issue anymore no matter how bad you have been. Since Jesus
died and rose from the grave, the barrier between you and God has been
removed, the veil is rent, and God is approachable. Jesus took every
'IOU death' sin memorandum out of the way at the cross nailing it to
his hands and feet [Colossians 2:14]. He hung on the tree for every
human being who has ever lived so that people everywhere could be forever
free from fear of failure and condemnation.

Forgiveness
of Sins Is A Forever Accomplished Fact

Thoughts
that we are not thoroughly
forgiven of all our sins no matter how bad they are [1 John 1:9] put us
in bondage to fear. Fear of not having done enough
to get into God's grace and favor is what hinders our progress in spirituality.
It robs us of overcoming faith-rest power.

Thoughts
like "you haven't prayed enough", or "you haven't fasted
enough", or "you haven't been faithful enough", or "you
haven't given enough", or "you're not as spiritual as so and
so", or "you don't deserve God's favor in healing or finances",
or "suppose it doesn't work", or "what if……"
"what if……", "what if……" are
fear based and will keep you from experiencing the love and favor of God.
All those thoughts negate the much more of
the gospel of grace because they doubt God's Word. Being fear and doubt
based, they are of the devil and he wants you chained to him. Those kinds
of thoughts qualify as sins of unbelief in the finished work of Christ
on the cross, the complete and thorough cleansing of sin by Jesus' blood
[1 John 1:7].

Can
you see that thoughts like the foregoing tempt a person to work harder
in order to qualify for blessings from God? They pull a person into a
works based religion. And Jesus' gospel is a grace based relationship
in the royal family in heaven. Working to earn God's favor stems from
a 'genetically altered gospel'. The gospel of grace is free and anything
that alters the extreme riches of the grace of our Lord in forgiving sins
without our having to do penance or work for His favor is not of God.
In fact, the more we work for favor, the deeper in debt we become. Now
to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not…his faith is counted for righteousness
[Romans 4:4].

God
is not out to 'get' you, to catch you sinning. Nor does He like to withhold
His mercy, love, and favor. Paul's entire repertoire of letters is about
the much more of the New Covenant
of grace. His gospel of excessive grace is about how God has provided
for every one super abundant grace as well as the gift of righteousness
[Romans 5:17], and is looking for the least opportunity to bless us. All
we need do is shun sinning and receive from Him. He is a giver, not a
getter.

Not
believing in God's boundless unqualified mercy for forgiveness of sins
is a fundamental cause for our faith not working, and if faith doesn't
work, hope for "one more time",
"one more move" of God
won't fly. Forget about the past, flip the switch of faith and keep it
turned on. You are forgiven of ALL sins including those you keep chewing
on that hinder your faith. Believe 1 John 1:9 and reign in life. You don't
have to qualify for the much more blessings of the "one
more time" around the mountain before we are called home.
The Father has already qualified us to be partakers of His inheritance
[Colossians 1:12]. We are qualified because we are in Jesus.

Trying
to keep the law, any law but love, to earn God's favor is fear based and
allows sin to rule over you [Romans 6:14]. The only thing God desires
of anyone is for them to respect and love Him for Who He is and what He
has done for us. Being a giver, and not a taker, it delights Him when
we take from Him for it gives Him glory and brings Him many thanksgivings
[2 Corinthians 9:12]. He wants our devotion and a longing to be in His
presence, but He saves people just like they are. To get into God's book
of remembrance, however, requires deeper motivation to holiness than a
mere fire insurance policy. A passing caveat: Better to be saved yet
so as by fire than to spend eternity in the lake of fire [1
Corinthians 3:15].

Jesus
has given New Covenant people a new commandment, only one, that we should
love like He loves [John 13:34], so decide to love and believe that you
can do it. The Bible says that all things are
possible to him that believes [Mark 9:23]. A decision to love
is shown in action, so practice loving. It's simple. Consider other peoples'
needs before your own. You say that's hard. It isn't if you are born again,
for the love of God is shed abroad in the hearts
of born again believers by the Holy Spirit who is given to
us at our regeneration [Romans 5:5; John 14:16].

Read
John's first letter written to believers and meditate in it. Being just,
the Lord would not tell us to do something if we couldn't do it. That
would be unfair. Since we are commanded to love as our Commander loved,
if you are having trouble loving, you might check up on your Kingdom citizenship.
Perhaps your name is not in the book of life. It is so important to walk
in love because love is the only thing that will cast out fear [1 John
4:18], Therefore, loving is the only means of walking through this time
of darkness and of obtaining freedom from bondages that hinder the "one
more time".

God
is predisposed to inscribe your name in His book of remembrance, but are
you predisposed to pressing in to know Him better? God is very approachable
since Jesus' has done His work in removing the barrier of sin. Our Father
greatly desires our presence. Run to Him and say I love you and want to
become a jewel and vessel of honor in your house. It's hard to believe,
but He wants to serve us! But He wants to serve us without the smell of
sin, i.e., unbelief [Isaiah 43:24]. He holds all the cards so let Him
play the game for you. You can't defeat the devil in your own strength
but Jesus can. So, quit trying to change your behavior. Change your thinking.
When our thinking is right, our believing is right, our confessions are
right, and our behavior is right. Right conduct ultimately results from
right thinking. Therefore, decide to renew your mind with the Word of
God.

These
are internal spiritual matters that guide our behavior. I suggest you
stop working to be blessed and rest in what God has said in His Word about
us being already blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies
[Ephesians 1:3]. Given that we are and that they are in heaven waiting
to be accessed, use your faith to make those blessings a reality. That's
the flip of switch required to please God and be rewarded – the
switch of faith. Faith in all that God has said in His Word will stop
worry and fear and bring forth rest from a works based lifestyle. He
that has entered into His rest has ceased from his own works
[Hebrews 4:10].

Resting
is believing everything God has said in His Word about His forgiveness
of sins and His desire to serve you by blessing you. He says He forgives
anything and everything – no matter what – and we should too.
Hallelujah! If you are not resting in the finished work of Christ on the
cross, you are not pleasing the Father. It will keep you from the much
more abundant grace and the "one
more time" around Mount Moriah from which the much
more flows.

As
you meditate on these things while looking at the Scriptures in the Bible
with your own eyes, you are THINKING on God and hence, are being hewn
into a precious stone. The more you do this, the more brilliant you will
shine in heaven. So it isn't hard to get into God's book of remembrance.
No works needed. Just a loving faith that He is real and He loves you
deeply. He does not require perfected behavior, but He does require a
deep desire to become perfected in behavior.

God
spoke that day through the “Hope” prophecy for His people
not to despair but hope to the end for the day is coming in which hope
will shine forth victoriously.
